communicated to the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) that
students who are keen on learning foreign languages should opt for the subject
as fourth or fifth language. "Languages which are listed in the Eighth
Schedule of the Constitution should be taught under the three language formula,
while languages which are 'purely foreign' should be taught as a 'fourth
language' as an elective subject," a source said. Click here for Exam and Questions Pattern, Marking Scheme for Class 10 CBSE Science Paper

Candidates will be provided an internal choice in four questions of 3 marks
each and three questions of 4 marks each; where candidates have to attempt only
one of the choices.

The maximum marks will be 80 and candidates will be allowed 3 hours to attempt
it.

Candidates must go through the marking scheme given in the official website for
understanding the step wise marking scheme. CBSE has divided each answer into
different steps and each step carries a part of the total marks. For example,
in a probability question which carries a total of 2 marks, the mark
distribution for the steps will be 0.5 marks, 1 mark and 0.5 mark.

Candidates must be more careful about the conclusion as CBSE has allotted 0.5-1
mark for the same.
